  • Patent number: 10335869
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for machining a flat workpiece, which comprises: a machine stand which comprises a support surface for a flat workpiece, wherein the support surface is formed by at least one counterholder, on the front face of which the workpiece can be placed, a hold-down unit, by means of which the workpiece is pressed against the support surface, and a processing head which can be moved relative to the support surface for the machining of the workpiece, wherein the at least one counterholder comprises a vibration damper which acts in a direction perpendicular to the support surface.

  • Patent number: 10207377
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for machining a planar workpiece, having a machine stand which has a support surface (application surface) for a planar workpiece, and further having a machining head which can be moved relative to the support surface, which machining head has a tool for machining the workpiece and also has a holding unit (“hold-down unit”) with a pressure plate whereby the workpiece is pressed against the supporting surface; characterized in that the pressure plate has a structure which is comprised of a plurality of pieces, preferably two pieces, wherein at least one of the pressure plate parts is movable back and forth relative to at least one other pressure plate part, namely it is movable between the application position, in which the pressure plate part presses the workpiece against the application surface when the workpiece is applied to said application surface, and a released position, in which the pressure plate piece is at a minimum distance away from the workpiece when the workpie

  • Patent number: 8714991
    Abstract: A busbar adapter has a mounting rail for attaching a switching device to the busbar adapter, wherein the mounting rail can be attached to the busbar adapter at different positions. The mounting rail includes leg elements and the busbar adapter includes passages through which a respective one of the leg elements of the mounting rail extend with a latch from a first boundary surface of the passages on which the mounting rail rests, to a second boundary surface of the passages, such that the respective latch of the leg elements is, with a retaining surface thereof, arranged in a distance to the second boundary surface which corresponds to a dimension of a slider positively insertable between the retaining surface and the second boundary surface.
